Police and other authorities cannot “turn a blind eye” to child sex grooming, Rishi Sunak warned today as he launched a new taskforce to crack down on abuse gangs.
Opening the first meeting of the special unit in Leeds alongside Home Secretary Suella Braverman, the Prime Minister urged officers and experts to root out exploitation in communities.
Vowing to “leave no stone unturned”, he said: “Nothing is more important than the protection of our children and I know that all of you here today are absolutely committed to stamping out grooming gangs and the sickening abuse of young people.
